Available data varies by country and company type, but may include:

Additional details may be available via API or PDF reports, depending on jurisdiction.
​

​Not necessarily. Financial statements available in RiskPulse are sourced by CreditSafe primarily from official public filings in each country (e.g., Companies House in the UK, the Bundesanzeiger in Germany), along with other available sources.
​

Whether financial statements are audited depends on factors such as the company’s size, type, and local filing requirements. For example, smaller companies may be eligible to file unaudited or abridged accounts under local statutory exemptions.

As a result, the availability of a financial statement does not necessarily mean that it has been audited. Where audit-related information is available, such as an audit qualification, it may be included in the underlying company report.
​

This is separate from RapidRatings’ own FHR financials, where the audited or unaudited status of the financial submission is explicitly captured as part of the financial submission.

The RiskPulse Bulk Upload Tool allows you to upload a CSV UTF-8 file containing company names and addresses for matching. The file must follow the required format and can contain up to 50,000 records.
​

Once uploaded, CreditSafe matches the companies against its database and returns the results within 48 hours. You can then review and filter the results based on the matching score.

You can add matched companies to RiskPulse individually or in bulk, with up to 100 companies at a time.

There is no charge for the company matching results. Credits are only used when you choose to add companies to tracking

A company may not have a RiskPulse rating when sufficient or eligible information is not available to generate a rating. This may occur when:

In these cases, the company may display No Rating in RiskPulse.
​

If you cannot find a company in RiskPulse, contact Client Services and we can check whether additional data may be available.
​

Currently, we’re able to support company addition requests for companies in the United States and Canada. For companies in other countries, we’re unable to support addition requests at this time. Company availability depends on the data currently available in RiskPulse.
​

The Safe Number is CreditSafe’s unique identifier for a company record.
​

Creditsafe international database reports are updated in real-time, over 1 million times a day.

Risk Scores are updated whenever new data becomes available that may impact the score.
​

Risk Score scales can vary by country because scoring methodologies differ from country to country. Depending on the country, the Risk Score may appear as a number in some markets and as a letter grade in others.
​

This is expected and does not indicate an inconsistency in the data. The local Risk Score is most meaningful when comparing companies within the same country, as the same score may not have the same meaning across different countries.
​

RiskPulse provides an International Score alongside the local Risk Score to support consistent comparisons across countries.
​

The International Score standardizes each company’s local rating onto a five-level scale:

This allows you to compare and prioritize companies across countries using a consistent scale.
​

For cross-border reviews of your supply base, the International Score can be used as the primary comparison point, while the local Risk Score provides additional context when comparing companies within the same country.
​

In certain countries, CreditSafe sources reports from local providers. In those cases, the original third‑party report format is displayed for transparency.
​

RiskPulse provides corporate hierarchy and Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) data where available. However, private equity ownership can be difficult to identify due to complex, multi‑layered holding structures and varying disclosure requirements by country.

Data completeness varies significantly by jurisdiction, with stronger disclosure typically available in the UK, the Netherlands, and parts of Scandinavia.
​

The Negative Press indicator reflects CreditSafe’s overall risk assessment and does not necessarily correspond to a specific news article.

The RiskPulse PDF does not display the underlying press article or source information. The indicator reflects risk signals that meet CreditSafe’s criteria for Negative Press, which may include information from third-party data sources and other risk indicators.

As a result, a company may have a Negative Press indicator even when no specific article or headline is available in the report.
